| Riepilogo: | The aim of this book is literacy, the reading skill which accessed the cultural canon dominated by Homer's writings. The topic, The Challenges of Homer, therefore, provides a pathway to understand how the Christians viewed the Hellenistic culture which developed from the time of Alexander the Great until the first centuries C.E.; Greek education held a significant role in conveying these traditions and values. The historical material in this study, thus, serves the purpose of looking into one of the main hermeneutical challenges which faced Christians: Are they allowed to participate in the reading of pagan texts, and if so, how should they do it? |
